What can We
help with?

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic, cyclic disorder manifesting in red, itchy lesions with silvery flakes due to rapid skin cell growth, often affecting nails too. It may subside for periods, only to recur, notably on lower back, elbows, knees, and scalp. Around 25% of cases exhibit psoriatic arthritis. Triggered by factors like stress and weather changes, its underlying cause links to immune system malfunction. Management involves oral/topical medications and light therapies such as Excimer Laser, aimed at controlling outbreaks and alleviating symptoms.

Lupus

Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the immune system mistakenly targets one’s own tissues and organs, affecting multiple body systems including skin, hair, kidneys, joints, and heart, predominantly in females aged 20-40. Manifesting in three main types—acute, subacute, and chronic lupus—it can present varied symptoms like skin lesions, hair fall, and joint pain. Triggered by factors like sunlight, certain medications, or infections, diagnosis often involves specific blood tests and imaging, with treatment entailing oral medications and sun protection.

What are
Chronic Skin Conditions?

Chronic skin conditions are persistent ailments that affect the integumentary system (skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes), often lasting for many years or a lifetime. Unlike acute conditions which may resolve with time or treatment, chronic skin issues often require ongoing management to control symptoms, minimize flare-ups, and maintain the individual’s quality of life. Common chronic skin conditions include eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, vitiligo, lichen planus, and chronic hives (urticaria).

These conditions may exhibit a range of symptoms such as inflammation, itching, redness, scaling, pigmentation changes, and sometimes pain. The exact cause of many chronic skin conditions remains unclear, but they often have genetic, immunological, and environmental triggers. Moreover, they may be associated with other systemic conditions or have comorbidities like psoriatic arthritis in the case of psoriasis or eye issues in the case of rosacea.

Management of chronic skin conditions may encompass topical and oral medications, light therapy, lifestyle modifications, and occasionally surgical interventions. Although they are typically not curable, appropriate medical care and lifestyle adjustments can significantly alleviate symptoms and improve the appearance of the skin. It’s crucial for individuals with chronic skin conditions to work closely with dermatologists to tailor a management plan that addresses their specific needs and enhances their overall wellbeing.

More about
Chronic Skin Conditions

Psoriasis is chronic (long lasting) condition which can be controlled but not cured. It presents as multiple itchy red lesions with silvery white flakes. This formation of skin flakes is because of a rapid growth of skin cells. Often nails are also found to be affected.

Psoriasis is a cyclical disporder in which the condition may flare up for a few weeks or months and then go into remission, only to return again.

Psoriasis is commonly seen on lower back, elbow, knees, palms, soles, scalp etc. It can be localised or generalised.

In about 25% of the cases it is accompanied by psoriatic arthritis.

Common symptoms of psoriasis include:

Red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales
Small scaling spots
Dry, cracked skin that may bleed or itch
Itching, burning or soreness
Thickened, pitted or ridged nails
Swollen and stiff joints

Psoriasis is a problem caused by the malfunctioning of the immune system. The exact reason for such a malfunction remains unknown.

People who are known to be at risk of getting psoriasis are as below:

– Family History of Psoriasis
– High Levels of Stress
– Smoking

Psoriasis is aggravated by the following factors:

Stress
Dry weather
Sudden weather changes
Sore throat
Certain Medications
Mild trauma or injury can trigger new patches

Control on these factors can help reduce psoriasis outbreaks

Psoriasis lesions are treated with the help of oral and topical medications. In addition they can be treated by light therapy. At InUrSKn we offer the below light treatment for psoriasis:

Excimer Laser

Common triggers include stress, certain medications, skin injuries, infections, and weather changes.

Some individuals find relief by reducing alcohol, gluten, or nightshades, though results vary.

Yes, types include Plaque, Guttate, Inverse, Pustular, and Erythrodermic psoriasis.

No, psoriasis is not contagious and cannot spread between individuals.

No, it can also affect nails and joints, a condition known as psoriatic arthritis.

Sunlight can be beneficial in moderation, but sunburn can trigger flare-ups.

Yes, it can be associated with heart disease, diabetes, and other autoimmune disorders.

Stress can trigger flare-ups and managing stress can potentially reduce symptoms.

There’s no cure, but treatments can manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

They have different appearances, and a dermatologist can provide an accurate diagnosis.

It is an autoimmune condition where body’s immune system attacks the melanocytes in the skin which are the cells responsible for producing melanin. Melanin is what provides colour to our skin. Destruction of melanocytes ensure that melanin production is stopped in the area in question and the skin turns ‘white’. Vitiligo is not a contagious disease. It can occur at any age, but is commonly seen between 30- 50 years of age. It presents as well defined white or discoloured patches on any part of the body commonly seen on hands, legs and face.

Vitiligo can be localized (restricted to few areas of the body)
Generalised( most of the areas are involved)
Universal(entire body is involved)
Hair can also get affected and become white.

Also unfortunately the course of this condition is unpredictable and hence there can be a rapid increase or decrease in vitiligo lesions.

While the exact cause of vitiligo is unknown, it is known to be hereditary. Also Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease, that is it is your body’s own immune system which malfunctions and attacks healthy cells of the body.

Vitiligo can be triggered by Stress and by any trauma to the skin. It is also known to become dominant after the body has undergone substantial stress like undergoing surgeries. Lastly Vitiligo is known to be seen in association with other conditions like diabetes, thyroid disorders and other autoimmune diseases.

As vitiligo does not have known causes besides it being hereditary, there are very few things that can be done to prevent its flare up. One of the most effective things Dr. Sejal prescribes is ensuring that one does not undertake undue stress. Any strategy that works to help a person destress from exercise to meditation to simply watching television works.

Also there are poor associations between dietary intake and other factors like environmental exposure and vitiligo and hence controlling these aspects also does not help much.

There are largely three strategies followed for vitiligo patients:

1. Camouflage
This is suitable for mild and localized cases in which small depigmented patches appear on visible areas of the body. In this case these areas are covered with temporary or semi-permanent makeup pigment to blend with the surrounding area. Treatments like microblading are suitable for covering such spots for a long lasting pigment colouration.

2. Regaining Natural Melanin
This is also suitable for mild and localized cases for repigmenting the areas in question. This uses mechanisms like excimer laser and other UV devices to stimulate melanin generation in the affected area.

3. Removing pigment from other areas
For widespread and severe cases, this may be a workable strategy where the areas with pigment are treated with topical medications to remove the pigment in those areas to achieve an even skin colour across the affected area. This strategy has to be considered with due seriousness before proceeding with the same and the treating dermatologist has to be very careful.

No, vitiligo is not contagious and there’s no need to avoid contact with affected individuals.

Yes, vitiligo affects individuals of all ethnicities and races. It may be more noticeable on darker skin, but it occurs equally.

No, vitiligo is an autoimmune condition unrelated to dietary or lifestyle choices.

No, untreated vitiligo may progress. It’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for treatment options as soon as it’s diagnosed.

Yes, treatments like topical and oral medications, as well as light therapies that stimulate melanin production, can help manage vitiligo.

No, vitiligo and skin cancer are unrelated conditions, although individuals with vitiligo can develop skin cancer like anyone else.

No known natural or herbal remedies have been proven effective for vitiligo. It’s advisable to consult a dermatologist for treatment.

Eczema is mainly genetic in nature. Meaning there is a variation in a gene which causes the skin to lose its ability to retain moisture and dry out quickly. This in turn causes the skin to be affected by allergens and irritants and also environemntal factors.

Prevention of new eczema patches and control of the same can be done by :

– Using a moisturizer regularly, ensuring that the skin is always well hydrated.
– Avoiding aggravating factors like allergens, irrutants or stress etc.

It’s recommended to moisturize the skin at least twice a day, or more often if necessary to keep the skin hydrated.

Over-the-counter creams may help with mild eczema, but it’s advisable to consult with a dermatologist for persistent or severe cases.
